Explanatory note

This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations, which come into force on 1 October 2000, amend the Fisheries (Recordkeeping) Regulations 1990 by—

(a)requiring licensed fish receivers, when giving purchase invoices, to provide separate greenweight entries for long-finned and short-finned eels that are subject to the quota management system; and

(b)revoking regulation 28(1)(ba). (The offence contained in that provision is now redundant, in that it refers to failure to comply with a notice of a kind that is no longer given under the regulations.)
